North Hampshire Balloon Flights

Adventure Balloons offers hot air balloon flights in North Hampshire from launch sites in Basingstoke and Hartley Wintney

Balloon Flight Hampshire

Our North Hampshire take sites are at Down Grange and War Memorial Park in Basingstoke. We also have our own site at Hartley Wintney. All these sites are convenient for the M3 motorway which you will almost certainly see on your flight.

During the balloon ride you may see Tylney Hall Hotel, Wellington Country Park, Stratfield Saye (the Duke of Wellington's Home) and Bramshill Police training college, some of which dates from Elizabethan times. You may also see small villages such as Odiham, Hartley Wintney, Crondall, Overton, Dummer and small towns such as Hook. If we fly near RAF Odiham you may see one of their Chinook helicopters, noticeable by their distinctive throbbing noise. Lasham airfield is the largest gliding centre in Europe. We sometimes land there and gliders will sometimes approach the balloon in flight and say hello!

To ensure that we provide you with a safe and enjoyable flight, the site chosen will depend on the wind direction, speed on the day and any operational factors. Our main airspace consideration is to keep out of Heathrow Airspace. And of course we also do our best to avoid Farnborough Airport at its busiest times, particularly during the time of the Farnborough Airshow!
